With 20 cameras coming out, you know something better will be out as soon as your check clears.

According to FedEx, my camera is due in on Thursday… which means there’ll be something better on Friday.

Ah well. At least I got through the post CES reports without seeing anything that made me scream “THAT’S what I want!”

But I want the S400’s 3x optical zoom, but it only takes movies at 320×240. So there’s the S230 or the SD100, both of which take movies at 640×480, but they both each only have 2x optical zoom.

Hopefully canon releases an Elph with 640×480 recording with 3x optical zoom before snowboarding season ends… Alternatively, I’m on the verge of buying an SD100 and selling it as soon as something more closely meeting my needs comes out.
